New Lunch Menu

We've been asked lately if we could make a three cheese plate for one person, especially something that would work for a light lunch. So we came up with our Fromage a Trois lunch plate! We take three of our most popular items and shrink the portions to make a substantial but not gluttonous meal for one.

While we were at it, we decided to make a dedicated lunch menu with items that are quick to make for those on a time crunch. In addition to the Fromage a Trois plate, Rob invented a great riff on sliders by taking Porter Cheddar, Cotswold and a little Arugula surrounded by baguette and grilled till nice and melty! That just got him warmed up and next he took Anjou Pear, Blue Cheese and Thyme and created a crostini for lunch as well.

These items and a few more are only available on our new Lunch Menu offered from 11-3pm every day. Come down and try them out.

Orchard Wine Cellar Movers and Shakers This Week

Made from four grapes harvested later than usual to achieve a greater ripeness and smoothness. A deep and inky wine, with ripe plum and blackcurrant aromas. Nice ripe fig and cherry with chocolate and licorice flavors. Just enough oak to give it some backbone.(Holding the #1 spot)

Sori Gramella refers to the one of the only single vineyard Moscatos, and Marco is the only producer to bottle this striking limestone amphitheater commercially. Once the 30 year old vines give up their bounty, and the grapes are harvested and pressed, they are kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation until an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible. (behind by 10 bottles)

The wine is inky purple with tar and black fruit aromas, a gutsy middle and round, moderately tannic end that almost needs chewing. It’s a great deal and truly a wine to work with tomato sauce and herbs better than chianti! (behind by 8 bottles)

Princess Yum Yum is a sparkly beauty. Brewed as a German style Kölsch and fermented with real raspberries, she has the color and clarity of a ruby. At 4.8% ABV she is enticing and inviting, yet the tart, dry finish makes her just as complex as any royal. There are plenty of reasons you’ll want your own Princess Yum Yum. tied

Fun New Arrivals

A slightly different and wonderful lighter take on Priorat. The gorgeous blue slate show immediately on the nose, Carignan is there but with richness and elegance. Really pretty and an homage to the fruit. Gorgeous leather and blue black fruit flavors with spice and soft leather. Organic, hand picked and just 9 months in French, this really is a lovely wine!

Acid freaks rejoice! This dry Riesling shows the classic stone minerality and petrol on the nose with floral aromatics as well. The palate yields citrus, green apple and stonefruits with mouth watering acidity. A great food wine or one simply just to drink.

A beautiful Colorado original. An aromatic, dry, refreshing spirit crafted with 6 botanicals, each contributing a unique component to the harmonious whole. Lovely bright citrus comes through on the finish prompting another sip, and another..

So pretty. Brings a clear nose of Gimblett Gravels terroir beneath lush soft blue and black fruit with lovely violet and lavender notes. Palate is clean, balanced and very approachable. Just a hint of the Northern Rhone's meatiness but mostly bright fruit and enough acidity to hold it in check. Maybe the best NZ Syrah out there??

A thousand cups of wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds.
